Envision

verb

Mobilize

verb

To organize something or someone to spring into action.

If you want to scale your business you first need to develop a clear picture/model of what your organization would look like if you were successful.

Then you have to start acting like that successful business long before you achieve your vision.

This is no small feat.

It takes the capacity to look into the future and envision an organization that has dealt with the growing pains and adapted to it’s internal and external demands.

Then you have to reverse engineer those best practices into today’s workplace and manage the change so you don’t sacrifice what’s enabled your success so far.

Vision to Action works with the organization’s leadership team to assess their current business model and all the critical functions that make collectively make up the organization. These are demonstrated in the diagram of the key above and what we’re seeking to assess in each of these functions is explained in the tabs below.

The analysis and insights provide us with a starting point for designing a more scalable business model and a detailed roadmap for implementation.

Vision & Strategy

Is the vision for growth clear and easy to articulate? Is there alignment among key stakeholders and has the feasibility of the vision been tested?

The Offer

How robust is your offer? On what basis do you compete and do you have the right product/service mix? Where is the growth potential and what money is being left on the table? How will you protect or grow your margins?

Customers

How would customers describe the experience of doing business with you? How well do you understand the needs of your customers and use this knowledge to drive your business?

Channels

How robust are your routes to market and how will you allocate your sales and marketing resources? How well does your brand communicate your core value? What does it cost to acquire new customers or to lose existing ones?

Operations

How effective and efficient are your internal systems and processes? What bottlenecks and growing pains are you dealing with? How about vendor relationships and your supply chain? How much waste, including time or money, does your business generate?

People & Culture

Does your business have a healthy culture that makes it possible to attract and engage the talent it needs to perform? Are the necessary HR systems and processes in place and will the organization design enable the business to grow in the right directions?

Finances

How does the P&L look? Is there sufficient cashflow to fund the growth organically or is the financial health of the business sufficient to attract investment? What financial controls and reporting are in place?

Leadership

Does your business have the leaders it needs to grow to the next level? Are employees getting the direction and support they need? What are the recurring leadership challenges or gaps that need to be addressed?

In this program our clients work with us to:

Envision where and how the leaders want to grow the business and ensure there is alignment and a shared commitment;

Design a cohesive and detailed model of what the business needs to become to accommodate the growth plans and operate with maximum effectiveness;

Build a detailed roadmap for change and a project management framework for managing the implementation and transition to the new model and measuring the results;

The benefits & deliverables of this approach include:

A conceptual and objective view of the business which leaders often can’t see because they have blindspots from being too involved or close to the challenges;

Commitment to and alignment around a clear vision for growth for the organization;

A step by step plan that clearly defines the priorities and sequence of activity, accountablities and timeframes;

Tailored support for the leadership team as they execute the changes.
